Gaurav Parab is a marketer with a leading technology company. He has played many successful roles in life, including the favourite child of the multi-talented Nilima and Ullhas Parab, sticky salesman of chewing gum and adhesives, evil brains behind a betting syndicate at his B-School, reluctant dog walker, good-looking quizzing enthusiast, poet with the most thoughtful look on his face, that kid who attended a dozen schools and got kicked out from a few on circumstantial evidence, and motivational speaker.

In addition to contributing to newspapers and websites, he blogs at the cleverly titled Gaurav Parab Says. He lives in Pune with his beautiful wife Juhi, and their sloppy dog-child Joko. Joko is convinced that he is a horse, and Gaurav spe

Golf and the Burning Train

 


Golf and The Burning Train

By Gaurav Parab

A piece of advice for everyone. Be very careful when driving golf carts anywhere in the world. This morning my cart accelerator gave way sending the cart with poor old me inside hurtling across the cart path at great speed. 

Now, I may be middle aged and I may have a paunch - but I have done my share of pilates. So I got my feet into a pilates V and

Quotes by Gaurav Parab  (?)

“If not his life, Rustom Iraqiwalla wanted his death to be worth something.”
Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora

“Most families pass heirlooms from generation to generation. The Iraqiwallas moved old Fali’s gun around. Take it, and don’t forget to leave instructions for the next user.”
Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora
tags: humor

“He slapped his forehead, like one slaps it on forgetting a birthday. How? How… did we ever run out of money?”
Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora
tags: humor

“The universe is all about balance. The forces of light and darkness are meant to keep a check on one another. If one becomes too powerful and starts overrunning the other, that balance will be upset. For the tyranny of virtue is as unbearable as the stranglehold of vice.”
Shatrujeet Nath, The Guardians of the Halahala

“Perhaps the greatest reading pleasure has an element of self-annihilation. To be so engrossed that you barely know you exist.”
Ian McEwan

“1 unread message. Rustom tapped it open, a little unsure, and a whole lot afraid.
Know your future, call 45678. World Famous Astrologer.
Fuck you. From now on, I am making my own destiny.”
Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora

“He slapped his forehead, like one slaps it on forgetting a birthday. How? How… did we ever run out of money?”
Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora
tags: humor

“Even after throwing away a fortune to horses and a generation of escort girls – the Iraqiwallas always had money. They were the ones the neighbours hated and the local extortionist admired. The rich Parsi family with that strange name who paid up without even being asked.”
Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora
